When my children were little, I wanted to be the grandmother one day who quilted since my children's didn't. I happened upon a quilting series on PBS by G. Bonesteel and went out and bought her book. I've got 4 of them, I think. I've only made 2 quilts using this method...1 queen and 1 king...and, although I don't love the way the back looks, I do love the portability and ease of quilting it provides.<br /><br />I got to be Georgia's helper in a quilt class back in the 80's and was starstruck! Well, now I have 5 grandbabies and one on the way and I am the grandmother who quilts!<br /><br />Love your traditional quilt and your story!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120022765749057793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572019656485101029.post-6591576412717625522010-05-25T17:25:19.471-04:002010-05-25T17:25:19.471-04:00Very pretty quilt.

I really like the three panel construction. I used to watch Georgia Bonesteel on the public television station and I have three of her early books. Good quilting techniques never go out of style. :-) I like your little quilt so much, that I am wondering if you would mind if I make one similar to it. I have these Civil War fabrics that I've never used and they might just look good in a basket quilt. Since I just finished my FIU project for Pat's group, that means I can start a new one...right?

Glad your quilt inspector approved the work along the way. :-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805403370463885686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572019656485101029.post-38209598756109822842010-05-23T09:28:39.395-04:002010-05-23T09:28:39.395-04:00What a lovely quilt for your wall.
